Description

Fluorite
Greenlaws Mine, Daddry Shield, Weardale, County Durham, England, UK
7.7 x 6.7 x 3.2 cm (3.03 x 2.64 x 1.26 inches)

A wonderful small cabinet sized display quality specimen of this contemporary classic material, thus specimen has many good quality, translucent cubes of purple colored Fluorite, from recent mining at the Greenlaws Mine in Weardale. The largest Fluorite measures 3.0 cm on edge. The majority of the crystals feature very attractive, displaying characteristic, white "snowflake"-esque or "spider web"-like inclusions, creating an almost ethereal quality. The display side of the specimen is pristine. The reverse side of the specimen is recrystallized, so the piece is "complete" nearly all the way around. Additionally, the piece glows under SW UV light, which is often seen in these crystals. Overall, this is a very attractive and eye-catching specimen of this classic contemporary material.
